no. there is no metric by which the uk is not in the top 10% of places in the world to live, despite it's problems and idiosyncracies

Poland is better. Women are hotter, a lot of British women are overweight. No fake refugees, it's safe af. If you work in IT and have a good salary it's easier to spend money on shit. Poles are honest, easy to befriend, pretty soulful Slavic bros. Brits are hard to read and boring, takes forever to get into their social circle and pass casual small talking phase

This. I feel that the folks you see on social media who talk about how heckin bad and gey the UK is are SUPER ignorant rich basement dwellers who whine about muh freeze peach. When you actually travel to some areas in the world outside of the first world you will understand

There are armed cops, but they often get into deep shit when they actually use their weapons. Case in point the death of Chris Kaba

If this is too political plz let me know i just felt the urge to sperg kek

It's not so bad. We love animals. We have a high tolerance for eccentricity. We drink too much. But most of the stuff you'll read on /pol is utter bollocks: read what they say there and you'd think the whole of London was being run like Iran. There are certainly better places - Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany - but there are an awful lot of worse places too. At least you probably won't get shot, and if you do, medical treatment is free.

It's poorer than it looks. Bathrooms have no tiles because they're too expensive.>>33279249

Except for the ones in UK.

Maybe those who lived in the UK for a long time. I found poles living there same as polish poles. They can do small talk and say please 10 times per day when they talk to brits but with others they are poles.

I did not know about that guy. Will check. Yeah, I kinda think the US is overly stupid in that traffic cops can shoot you. Seems an extreme jump from a speeding ticket. Those fags don’t really need guns to act as societal stooges for local governments. Don’t need to be chastising people through neighborhoods at 80 miles an hour, with kids playing in the streets. Cops create their own problems by being impotent faggots.
UK seems more chill. And can’t you like murder someone and end up living happily ever after?

One good thing about the UK as compared with the US is that, unlike in "The Land of the Free", you can't be arrested just for crossing the fucking street. There's no such thing as "jay-walking" here.

Some parts of the UK are genuinely poorer and have shittier overall quality of life than places like Poland or Romania as >>33279249 aludes to
But London if you have reasonable money is actually a pretty cool city to live in

UK seems fine to me, but I'm upper middle class. Main downside is just that it gets dark quickly in winter and people don't take care of their food or their looks. People will try and tell you it's uniquely bad or something but it's a perfectly normal Western country. We are currently having a high rate of youth unemployment though.
>>33278663
This. I think people get myopic and moan about how the UK is going to shit because they're comparing themselves to the best parts of the best countries to live in the world. They need to go to a developing country to get a bit of perspective.

UK is good if you're rich or poor like >>33282319 said. For middle class like programmers there's better places to live in. Upper middle class or working class will feel just fine

Smelly brown people ruin everything. All white countries should deport all non-whites and never allow another to set foot in them again

wages are shit, cost of living is shit, housing markets fucked, job markets hit the fucking wall, perpetually stuck with two shite political parties and nothing is getting better, its a slow decline but so is the rest of europe. Not a fan of how densely populated it is here.

It's poor now.

More accurately, the south east of England is fine but everywhere else sucks now.

The government is under pressure not to cut their welfare, so yes, things will get better for them.

There’re no classes. This type of marxist manure is rubbing off on too many Americans. One is not born into any certain fate, just because their parents are scum.

Second worst place to live as a successful white male. Worst place being South Africa.
On the other hand, it's a paradise for 3rd worlders whom are flooding the place.
Its kind of like Brazil with worse food.

im a bong from a poor town in the rich part (south east) and my town is at least 50% immigrant now. its not a bad life at all, im upper working class but have a nice albeit small house, cosy job, can afford to go out or treat myself when i want and a cat and a dog who i love very much. but immigration and being surrounded by third worlders really is ruining it. im lucky to live here and i love english culture and my heritage but i dont want to live by a mosque that shouldn't be here or with muslims who i disagree with, or even christian africans , i just want to live among my own and yeah at some point a racial element does come into it because even if theyre citizens or 1st/2nd gen immigrants theyre not english. they mostly grow up in their own cultures and i don't feel any connection with them nor do most other ethnic english i've seen talk about this. i want to be around my people because if im gonna be foreign might as well fuck off to somewhere like sweden where at least things are nicer.
food is fine though. i've never understood the hatred for perhaps not the most flavoursome meals but ones that are hearty and homely.
